lyrics

Future Son

Plank-deck hobby sparkling relentless,
you ride – a silhouette against the grey, a pirouette
of flippancy amongst the greens, an accent
on the acuity of yellow sun-rays.

Follow the cement circuit; breaker
of the breeze, you are of timeless continuity. Step
off hard, the seashell-aggregate will push back,
propelling the plank forward into this keen contrast.

Vibration of the wheels over rough
pavement will stall the movement of oiled
bearings. Get them, the hallowed blank spaces
that emerge from the textures of the clouds.

Alight, and chase the spectres
which burn relentlessly in the hearts
of the crows, spraying music into the branches.
Climb toward epiphany, future son

and do not fear the crows,
for the notes will strike the strings – not
the other way around. The bend
approaches, feint slightly, lean into

the embrace of gravity, and remember
your gewgaw-ish frictional quality
which spurs all men and women against you
willingly; do not alight lightly.

The epic awaits you, future son; one day
you will know why crows remain in the
branches, why they seldom speak
unless threatened or mating,

and why the wheels beneath you
will never stop burning track-marks into
the concrete. One day you will know all this,
should you choose to accept it, and you will then

be a friend to the music inside you.
